List of Ben 10: Omniverse episodes
Ben 10: Omniverse is an American animated television series and the fourth installment of the Ben 10 franchise, which aired on Cartoon Network from August 1, 2012, to November 14, 2014, in the United States.[1] Man of Action Studios, consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle, created the franchise.
Each Ben 10 Omniverse episode is about 22 minutes in length, with two-part episodes (such as the series premiere "The More Things Change", "Showdown", "The Frogs of War", "Weapon XI" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World") being about 44 minutes combined in length. Only forty episodes were ordered at first with the 2010 Cartoon Network Studios logo,[2] but on August 25, 2012, production of episode 41 began, with 20 more episodes being ordered, bringing the total up to 60. However it was expanded to 80 in June 2013.[3]
Instead of a season-based episode release structure, the 80 episodes have been broken into eight story arcs consisting of 10 episodes each.[4] The series has 2 Cartoon Network Studios logos across the 80 episodes, the 2010 one for episodes from story arcs 1–4 and the 2013 one for story arcs 5–8. The episodes aired out of the intended production order. The table below shows the broadcast order of the episodes.
